Blackstone''s Guide to the Extradition Act 2003

Zusatztext But! as the barrister Julian Knowles shrewdly points out in his Blackstone's Guide to the Extradition Act 2003 (OUP)! it's not that simple. First! the Human Rights Act says that nobody in Britain may even be condemned to death. So promising that a death sentence! if imposed! will not be carried out is not good enough to satisfy the Human Rights Convention. Informationen zum Autor Julian B. Knowles is a barrister at Matrix Chambers, and was called in 1994. He is listed as one of the Legal 500's leading civil liberties juniors, has extensive experience of extradition cases including the House of Lords and Privy Council, and was principal junior counsel for General Pinochet in his extradition proceedings. He has co-authored "The Law of Extradition and Mutual Assistance" with Clive Nicholls QC and Clare Montgomery QC. He has also written a number of relevant chapter contributions and is currently co-authoring a new edition of "Human Rights and Criminal Law". Klappentext The Extradition Act 2003 came into force on 1st January 2004. The Act is a major piece of legislation and will radically overhaul current extradition procedures with the aim of simplifying and speeding up the extradition process. This Guide offers comprehensive coverage of the new extradition regime and is an essential tool for all those working in extradition and international criminal law.
